A number of us System76 customers were hit by a kernel bug introduced in the kernel that came with Jaunty. This bug quickly caused massive filesystem corruption on 64-bit machines (including System76's Pangolins.) Here is the launchpad thread, :

I am wondering if this issue has been resolved regarding the System76 machines. Has anyone who experienced the problem braved the upgrade to Jaunty with a newer kernel and found that the bug did not arise again? Is there any official word on how to prevent this issue?
I'm still stuck on Intrepid, and I'd like to get to Jaunty sometime before Karmic comes out... :-/
